Painters Must Speak Through Paint, Not Through

Art Is Magic... But How Is It Magic? In Its Metaphysical Development? Or Does Some Final Transformation Culminate In A Magic Reality? In Truth, The Latter Is Impossible Without The Former. If Creation Is Not Magic, The Outcome Cannot Be Magic.

What Goes On In Abstract Art Is The Proclaiming Of Aesthetic Principles... It Is In Our Own Time That We Have Become Aware Of Pure Aesthetic Considerations. Art Never Can Be Imitation.

To Me, Art Is The Glorification Of The Human Spirit.

The General Misunderstanding Of A Work Of Art Is Often Due To The Fact That The Key To Its Spiritual Content And Technical Means Is Missed. Unless The Observer Is Trained To A Certain Degree In The Artistic Idiom, He Is Apt To Search For Things Which Have Little To Do With The Aesthetic Content Of A Picture. He Is Likely To Look For Pure Representational Values When The Emphasis Is Really Upon Music-like Relationships.

As A Teacher I Approach My Students Purely With The Human Desire To Free Them From All Scholarly Inhibitions, And I Tell Them, "painters Must Speak Through Paint Not Through Words."
